Looking for work



This post, along with the others under the sign of "Dock Roads", is a shared research resource, principally for Philip and Hangfeng who are working on an idea that explores the situation of the Bund in Shanghai and the situation of the Pier Head in Liverpool.

I found this archival photo of the Dock Road, apparently it was taken in 1961. Looking for work in an empty city? What was it like? It was raining that day, and the dockers' umbrella was long gone!
